Thank you ? To Willow for challenging me to play.
Roy, over at A Guy Named Bloke, created this super cool challenge!
Rory’s Instructions:
I will choose a topic, write four lines of Rhyming Verse then l will tag one of my readers who will in turn add four lines of Rhyming Verse to my mine and Tag one of their own readers, and then it is a case of wash rinse repeat and let’s see how far our topic goes in so far as a Rhyme?…
The Perfectly Crazy Bucket List!
So, so much to do, and with so little time,
I want to do everything, nothing to be missed,
But how do l plan it all, how do l define,
The perfectly crazy bucket list?
Paula adds:
First up is a lush tropical jungle,
Jaguars and waterfalls… all quite insane;
I do hope my parachute isn’t all bungled,
When I jump from the doorway of this airplane!
Fandango Continues:
I want to take a rocket into space,
Or maybe a submarine ride deep in the sea.
I sure hope they will save me a place,
Because that’s where I really want to be!
Cheryl Contributes:
A trip to the mountains is what l’d choose,
I’ll make sure to wear climbing shoes,
Rocks are high and edges slippery,
Wouldn’t want to fall off the perifery,
Kristian’s Contribution:
I’d like see the world, visit the sands of Abu Dhabi
take a cruise down the Golden Gate Bridge in my Maserati
head to New England and catch a game at old Fenway Park,
then board a ship to Costa Rica where I can swim with a shark.
Nova’s Addition
I’d travel to the desert in Egypt
And photograph the pyramids
Then board the Ciaro railway,
To the Chocolateria in Madrid.
Ritu’s Addition
Swimming with dolphins in the ocean deep
A worldwide cruise, though it won’t be cheap
I want to write a novel, and hope it’s a best seller
To see my book upon a shelf, wouldn’t that be stellar?
Willow’s Addition
I’d love to ride a zipwire high up in the trees
And to do so fearlessly as often as I please.
A Starfighter pilot I’d dearly love to be
I smash the evil aliens and set the good world’s free.
For the longest time I have dreamt of Tuscany
Not merely to visit, but to eat, live, and dine
Vacation in ’16, felt like my destiny
I’m ever so convinced, I will fit in just fine
***
I challenge Christine to play along!
Now THAT was a fun read. …. and yours fit in well. 🙂

Q,
You love these challenges, don’t you? You just so happen to be perty good at ’em, so that helps matters quite a lot. 🙂
And I do see Tuscany in your future. Once the kids are off doing their own thing and the house feels like something you can shed. It’ll be a one way ticket, for shizzle.
To Tuscany!

B,
I was challenged. What to do? Refuse? Nah…
Glad you think it’s ayt.
And yes, I shall most definitely return to Tuscany. To live? Probably not. To stay for more than three weeks? Most def.
To dreams!

It was better than ayt, because it’s your dream. And forego bucket list, please. It’s such a tediously ineffective phrase for what a dream means to someone.
Well, you never know. That’s the mystery, and what keeps a person in a happy place.
To wine!

Not my phrase – just to be clear. I am not big on it myself because yes, it is a tediously ineffective blanket phrase,

Nice challenge. I also am a fan of Tuscany. Always wanted to go. I have been throughout the Med though and I think Palma De Mallorca was one of my favorites. It’s a beautiful island.

Thank you, Jan. Having been, all it did was whet my appetite for more. I would love to tour the whole country, to be honest. Glad you had a chance to see the Med, albeit through the military…
